The Axis Alliance suicide-ganked a Dread in highsec, and got subsequently ROFLstomped by the USA Corporation.

Hug a WWII vet, if you see one. They're unsubbing by the day, and that makes this veteran sad :(

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

The major contribution of the US was to the Pacific theater, not Europe. And of course not much was happening in the Pacific theater besides Japan steamrolling over China, Korea and a few other southeast Asian nations until the US got involved.

Yes... I know what Balz meant. We were non-interventionist at the time. That's better than what we've been doing, since then, isn't it?

I can't wait for the day we finally get over this stupid WWII incident and go back to being a happy global family.

Like back in the day when there was no mankind and we didn't have any wars at all.

That is what I believed as well. People complain today that we get into everyone's business, but back then the Allies needed industrial giant that was the US.

I really wish we would stick to isolationism, but if we did, we probably would not be a superpower today. It's all about tradeoffs.

We can't ALL be like Iceland, and have absolutely ZERO desire to commit violence....

That what I believed as well. People complain when we don't do anything, and people complain when we do intervene.

I would honestly prefer to not be a war veteran.

They don't have an army because who needs an army when you have an entire island of volcanoes to fire at people. Just look at what they did to Europe when we asked for our money backStraight

Eh, that is what college classes are for. You get to avoid most of the propaganda. Not all of it though.

I honestly like Iceland and have often considered moving there. I would give up my guns in a heartbeat to live in a country where I didn't need them.

Even in high school, we were only taught facts about dates and events. No spin or propagnada. I don't know what they've been doing since the mid-90's, but when I graduated high school, that's what it was. I didn't hear politicization until I got into college.
Surprisingly enough, the Army gave it to us the straightest. They flat-out told us in our history lessons "we were serious assholes, at this point in history... that's why we changed our doctrines."

Go Switzerland. It's equally safe, the weather is better and also is the food.
